What is a
sanctuary, the true
home of the
pilgrim?
A sanctuary
(religious or non-religious) is wholeness experienced as (or within) a particular
identity, that is to say, as wholeness, i.e. completion found within a limit
or boundary. Arrival at
(indeed, having transformed one’s self as) a sanctuary (and which is the
virtual (rather than actual) end of a particular pilgrimage) produces the
experience of absolute wholeness (hence of @100% fullness, hence of total
fulfilment) of a particular identity. Entry into
the sanctuary, and which means leaving the enclosure-that-limits behind, and
which means relinquishing identity (i.e. particular boundary or limitation),
results in access to (actually merging with or recovery of) unbounded
wholeness, to wit, to SANCTUM before identity, or to undifferentiated, hence
universal wholeness (in some quarters expressed as ‘the peace that passeth
all understanding-identification). Since,
however, SANCTUM (i.e. identity free wholeness) cannot affect without
identity, that is to say, without boundary (hence not presenting as an
identifiable unit) and therefore act spiritually, i.e. make real and display
identity, i.e. become an identifiable unit of reality), the wholly fulfilled
state (i.e. the pilgrim inside and @rest (hence holy) in her home and
released from identity) must leave SANCTUM (i.e. holiness as such). She does
that by limiting (hence identifying) the SANCTUM as a self, therefore as a
particular sanctuary, in the process sacrificing her state of unlimited
wholeness (and becoming an incomplete, in religious-speak, a ‘sinner’, a
profane) and accepting the sorrow (and later on joy) of less-than-perfect-(i.e.
unbounded)-fullness/wholeness. Every true
self (i.e. a unit of identity (or difference), read: a particular sanctuary)
operates as SANCTUM limited, hence particularised, hence relativised. In
short, each and every appearance (read: turbulence or order of 1 presenting
as reified turbulence) in the universe is holiness relativised. Therefore,
all forms @ rest, therefore presenting as identifiable steady states, are
holy (inside). Unit status
makes holy. The sanctuary shines when it wills
